I can't believe I'm asking this

[rm]

If I'm sort of obsessed with Rufus Wainwright's "The One You Love" which I have on a sampler CD, which album should I get (not in terms of it having this soung, but in terms of it having that sort of sound)?

The song is from Want Two (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000654ZDC/qid=1119377937/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-5335353-3336710), but the thing with Rufus is, that his style is so eclectic and you get maybe one or two songs like this per album, then a few more along the lines of Greek Song, then some slower ones such as the gloriously sleazy and mournful In My Arms, followed by the occasional mind-blowing build-up song such as Go Or Go Ahead.

His two most accessible albums are Want One and Poses, if that's any help, but he's really one of those artists where you need everything in order to get the true gems :O)

Rufus freak here. I found you via alchemylab.

I have all the albums he has out presently. "One You Love" is on his Want Two album. Want One and Want Two are similar to each other, but I like Poses better.

As a Rufus fan, I much prefer his debut and Poses to the Want albums. I would pick up Poses as a good Rufus intro LP.
